An excellent show on the Simon and Garfunkel story. Excellent musicians, superb double act and an entertaining story complete with vintage us footage. Theatre was comfortable, no crush waiting for drinks and free car parking 50m away. This was our first time but we will be back

There is a great little bar/restaurant at the entrance, interval was also great with a little coffee and cake at the on-site bar round the side (forget the name) and only about 200m walk from the train-station. Choose a good night and what's not to like??

I visited the Lichfield Garrick for the first time last night to watch Mercury Queen tribute and I had an absolutely rockin’ night out! In my opinion, the Garrick is a very pleasant venue. It’s situated a 6 minute level walk away from the Premier Inn in Lichfield City Centre and only a four minute walk from Lichfield City train station.
All the members of staff I spoke to were very helpful and welcoming. The Green Room Bar and Cafe is a very nice place to spend time before a show, during the interval and after the show. I personally didn’t use the bar but it’s a very comfortable space. There are plenty of toilets and the facilities I used were very clean.
Having been in a number of venues over the years, I thought that the main auditorium at the Lichfield Garrick was excellent. There are no columns here to potentially block your view. I had a superb view of the stage from my seat near the centre of row F in the circle. The seats themselves are extremely comfortable and there was a perfect amount of legroom between the rows and space for bags. The acoustics were excellent. The house lights go down fully at this theatre, meaning that it goes very black once the show starts, further adding to the atmosphere and the performance on stage.
I would certainly visit the Lichfield Garrick again. I hope I get the opportunity to do so in the future. I would definitely recommend this venue.

It was the first time visiting the Garrick Theatre to see Mad about the Musicals and have to say was very impressed. Service was really good and staff very helpful. Family member had a sandwich with side salad and the portion was more than ample and definitely value for money. The show was excellent which added to the experience so overall an excellent evening out. Please support this theatre as they do put on great shows, with great service, friendly and helpful staff so what isn't to like about it. So many places now don't know what customer service is unfortunately but you can't say that about the Garrick Theatre, Go along and enjoy.

We've visited twice recently (despite living in Lichfield for years these were our first bodies!). I'm just so grateful to have this sort of venue in Lichfield. The bar and facilities are great, queues are well managed and overall my experience has been positive both times.
Yesterday we watched Old Herbaceous in the studio which was a fantastic show although the studio feels a little underwhelming, it's still a great space for a show like that.

I went to see joe longthorne last Thursday at the garrick theatre in lichfield (one of my favourite venues)
I have to say I was really moved by his fabulous performance!
He had the audience cry with tears of laughter but also I know I had tears running down my face due to his emotional and powerful performance!
I learnt he had had major surgery on his mouth just weeks before and now has to wear new dentures which has obviously affected him.
His weight has obviously plummeted recently...
And he looked quite frail but with all that in mind
He carried on regardless and gave us a spectacular show and left us wanting more!!
What a professional showman...the option to cancel and recover was not an option for him quite clearly...and he filled me with tears of admiration.
I really hope he recovers 100 per cent and gets back to his good health but a big hug and a huge Thankyou goes to joe for giving me (and everyone) an evening to hold dear to my heart.....it was a real emotional nostalgic trip down memory lane.
I just hope I get the opportunity to repeat the occasion in the future
Get well soon joe
Love vicki

We came to see The Lady Vanishes yesterday afternoon, never been to this theatre before it was a cosy theatre & we had a great view & lucky enough to meet stars of the show afterwards we will definitely come back to see another production!!!

Touring plays with large casts are by definition expensive to put on - The Lady Vanishes was a strange piece - played for comedy not suspense. The theatre is large - the music played before the show and duning the interval was rather loud and intrusive. the bar os pleasant but a little small to accomodate everyone prior to the auditorium opening - better in the interval. Toilets are ok.
